The parasite.
You meet a roomie, with whom you share nearly everything , Soap, sugar, detergent, spray, polish and food most definitely;on one silent but consistent condition; you pay the costs. When the torpedo of exhaustion strikes and kawu sets in, you notice a steady decline the trips to Katanga for a friendly “shared “kikomando . Your friendship declines and boom ,you are abandoned like Bad black’s fair weather friends. “After eating me dry, the always broke Anthony started avoiding the room especially during meal times,… On a now survival walk, I found Anthony devouring a fat Rolex in a dark corner of the hostel,” lamented a one Nicky, a Muk student.
The swine
With a ravenous appetite and an elastic stomach, Innocent must have been a cud chewing mammal in his past life basing on his eating credentials. A roomie like Innocent isn’t a very wise idea, he’ll eat every little thing, your loaf of bread will last two days at most ,your cluster of bananas will be eaten in one seating and, you might have to double the food prepared to cater for the roomie with such amazing qualities or consider employing a cook!
The radio
This roomie is a standard definition, of CBS, the buganda radio, Talks non stop Monday through Sunday, to himself, to your guests and when you need time to yourself like after expecting a lover who doesn’t show up. The radio never runs out of what to say. It knows the hostel gossip and has an idea on everything from what the lecturer had for breakfast to the next world cup winner! The positive is that you won’t need a radio.
The ‘Kazinda’
A missing spray and deodorant, the mysterious disappearance of your favourite spray, little coins simply melt away and your note books vanish. A roommate with itchy fingers will stop at nothing to satisfy, his kleptomaniac tendencies. Avoid a stealing roommate lest you might wake up to find your limbs missing.
The subnormal sleeper
He snores out loud, like the snort of a pig eating porridge. He suddenly wakes up screaming in the dead of the night, mumbles words in his sleep or does the chameleon stunt of sleepwalking… Bad bad news….
The perfectionist
You shall not sit on my bed, touch my stuff or in anyway disorganize the room. “Nigga I am a dude not a shoe shiner! ” A perfectionist will want stuff to be in perfect shape, and will fill your head with ridiculous complaints.
The horny one
Horn is relative, if your roommate has high libido, ssebo, you are assured of spending most of your time outside the room, not voluntarily but up a tree, you will spend, most of your time in the hostel quadrangle. While your roomie fornicates himself silly.
With this guide, be sure not to fall victim of roomies with the above traits.
